SERVICE AND
STOCK ARE KEY FOR
NATIONAL PLASTICS
National Plastics is the UK’s
largest independent trade
counter network - and the
business says customers
describe a visit to its stores
as ‘an overall experience
second to none.’
Turner Windows of Somerton Ltd has been a customer
of National Plastics for around
19 years. Owner Craig Turner
said: “The service we get from
National Plastics is superb.
From the stock availability, staff
knowledge and reliable service,
they work with us and keep us
informed at every stage. Even if
there is a problem, which is rare,
they find a solution quickly and
efficiently.”
Turner Windows uses the Weston-super-Mare store and has built
a very strong relationship with the
team. Craig said: “Our day to day
contact with Richard Bishop, who
runs the Weston store, is excellent. He understands our business
needs and knows the importance
of holding a vast stock level and
delivering on time to us. Their
staff knowledge makes life so
much easier and if Richard cannot
help, we have the direct number
to managing director Geoff Foster
who is there to support. We really
cannot fault them.”
As a Network VEKA approved
installer, Turner Windows is
committed to raising standards
across the window industry. Craig
said: “Like National Plastics our
business has been built on quality,
professionalism and service. We
work with both our domestic
and trade clients to offer them
quality products, backed up with
exceptional good service. We are
proud of our own 5-star customer
ratings as it is a further testament
to what we do.”
National Plastics is known for
its range which includes windows, doors, conservatories fascia
boards, soffits, trims, internal and
external cladding, guttering, drainage systems, carports and canopies. The business typically keeps
over 60 days of stock at any one
time and has over £2m around the
depots to draw from so customers
can be assured products are in
stock for when they need them.
The company has added £10 million to its turnover in recent years
and show no signs of slowing
down.
